It is hard to believe that this little thing can grow into a big, round, orange pumpkin heavy enough to fill your arms! A pumpkin starts small, but it becomes one of the biggest fruits in your garden. Yes, a fruit, and we will get to that surprise in a moment.  \nThat seed's journey begins in late spring, when the soil finally turns warm. First, a farmer plants the seed, and soon a green vine pushes up and creeps along the ground like a long, leafy rope. Then the vine grows bright yellow flowers, and here is where things get interesting. Some flowers are male and some are female, and only the female flowers can turn into pumpkins.  \nBecause the flowers cannot move, they need a helper to carry pollen from the male flower to the female flower. That helper is often a busy bee, buzzing from bloom to bloom and doing the important job of pollination. Once a female flower is pollinated, it slowly swells into a small green ball that grows bigger and bigger all summer long. Little by little, that green ball turns orange as it ripens in the sun.  \nGrowing a pumpkin takes patience, usually about 90 to 120 days from seed to harvest. So a seed planted in spring is ready to pick in autumn, right in time for fall festivals and jack-o'-lanterns. And now for that promise: a pumpkin really is a fruit, because it grows from a flower and holds the seeds inside. In fact, scientists call ita kind of berry, which means your giant orange pumpkin is a cousin of tiny blueberries!  \nHow Pumpkins Grow  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What does a pumpkin grow from at the very start?\u003Cbr>A.
